Aims of the evening:
• To explain the progression in learning about shape and space in the primary school and the vocabulary used.
• To explain the links between shape and space and reasoning and communicating.
• To suggest ways of helping and supporting your child with maths at home.

Shape work is often connected to number pattern

What shapes can you see?How many of each?
What vocabulary did you use to discuss the pattern?

What do children do with shapes?
• Explore them – roll, stack…
• Make patterns/nets• Build models• Describe• Name/identify/recognise• Visualise• Sort• Turn them
• Reflect (flip) them • Draw/construct• Complete• Compare• Classify• Reason
Practical handling, discussion, mental work, drawing.

Helping your child
• Relate it to the real world as much as possible
• Talk, listen, model, recast
• Ask questions
• Be curious and fascinated
• Use a dictionary
